Firmware is stated as 5.16.20.0.1. I downloaded 'update_kindle_11th_5.17.1.bin', put it in the root of my new basic but it was reported as incorrect and rejected. Any ideas what I am doing wrong or is it just that the file is corrupt? I always prefer to manually update rather than OTA. Thanks.
You just made a MAJOR mistake. You can't use Download & Transfer via USB with your 2024 Kindle Basic. You need an older Kindle registered to your account.
